Nathan Van Coop’s book came out today and he’s hosting a Facebook launch party – for which I will be appearing in about 10 minutes.

You can hop over and chat with me there, and win some cool stuff, too!
Just as important, I’ll be learning how these work by attending as a co-host or whatever I am, and YOU can learn by attending. Let’s see what all the hoopla is about so we can do these for OUR books!
See ya there! Stop by and say Hi!
Dan
UPDATE:
Okay, so my shift just ended. Actually, it ended about 30 minutes a go, maybe more.
The verdict?
IT WAS FUN!
I’d do it again, and all of you should, too.
The host was Nathan Van Coops, and he and I have run into each other at local book promotion stuff, so I knew him a little. Nice guy, hard worker. His books get LOTS of reviews, so I wanted to stay on his radar. When he asked me to join his launch party, I accepted immediately. Then I wondered what the heck I was supposed to do.
Well, here is the line up and some of the stuff he had going on. Skim through it and I’ll see ya at the bottom.
Details: THE DAY AFTER NEVER is coming!
The party will be going on all day with guest authors from the UK as well as US so we can get everyone in on the excitement.
Special guest authors scheduled to appear currently include:
Rysa Walker-The Chronos Files Series, Michael J. Sullivan-The Riyria Chronicles, April White-Immortal Descendents Series, T. Ellery Hodges-The Never Hero, and lots more! See below for the event schedule and contest rules. Let’s get ready to party!
